Cornyn raises concerns about Trump move to build border wall in national park

Republican Sen. John Cornyn expressed concerns regarding the Trump administration's construction of a border wall through national and state parks. In a formal letter, Cornyn warned that the barrier could disrupt wildlife, indigenous sites, tourism, and natural beauty at Big Bend National Park and Big Bend Ranch State Park. Meanwhile, local residents remain dissatisfied with government assurances, arguing that the associated road construction represents an environmental catastrophe as bulldozers begin operations within the protected park areas.
